Northland scallop season opens
Northland's scallop season opens on Saturday 1st September and runs through until the 31st of March. The Ministry for Primary Industries is reminding those taking scallops to be aware of their obligations. A few things to remember are:
- The minimum legal size for scallops is 100mm.
- The maximum daily limit is 20 per person
- One diver can also gather scallops for up to two other people acting in a dive safety capacity from that vessel.
- All scallops must be in a measurable state when taken ashore.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
